“We had never left Hazel with anyone before, not even family or friends, because she was always able to go with us, or either me or my husband was with her. But we needed to travel out of town and wouldn't be able to take her. We didn't have any family or friends available to keep her, so we talked about taking her to a puppy resort but after thinking about it we didn't think it would be the best for her. Our neighbor had told us about Rover and that they take their dog to Cathy and she was really good with their dog.....so we decided to take a chance and we are so glad we did. Cathy was so great with Hazel -she treated her like her own. Cathy knew we were going to miss our baby and she would send us pictures and updates. When we picked Hazel up she was happy to see us but you could see that she had been well taken care of. We are so grateful for Cathy. We definitely will be using her again and telling others that need doggie care about her....thank you again Cathy!”
“Lona & Alan took phenomenal care of our precious goldendoodle! They loved her like she was their own and really made sure they were respectful of our wishes for our dog’s care. I loved getting pictures and videos of our pup throughout her stay and she was clearly happy and well loved! My only concern with them watching our dog is if my dog would want to come with me after such an amazing time 😂 (which she did thankfully 😁). They were amazing to our dog and very trustworthy! Amazing experience ❤️”
“They did a wonderful job watching our sweet girl Harper. Her 11th birthday fell during her stay and they gave her a full celebration. My dog mama heart felt so full. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!”
“The best dog sitter in KC! My dog Coco has the best time with Angelica and her dogs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter who's friendly, accommodating, and an overall great experience. You can tell she really cares about you and your dog”
“Jillian was absolutely amazing with our baby, Scooby! She took wonderful care of him and provided updates and pictures! Scooby definitely enjoyed his "vacation" with Jillian and I will DEFINITELY book services with her again! This was the first time he has been away from us overnight and we were a little worried, but the updates she provided, we felt very reassured that he was in the best hands! Thank you Jillian!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ashley. She took care of Prue, our 1.5 month old baby while we travel outside of the Country. She kept us informed the whole time, sending us picture, texts and videos of how well Prue was doing. Ashley is amazing!! She care and loved Prue as if she was her own and she is also very friendly and profesional. We could tell Prue had a fun time with Deiga, Ashley’s dog and now Prue’s BFF. My husband and I feel very lucky to have found Ashley. We highly recommend Ashley and will definitely use her service again if need it.”
“We cannot say enough good things about Sharon as a dog sitter. She and her husband made our fur-baby Callie feel like she was just at an extension of our home. It made our vacation stress-free knowing Callie was being taken care of so well. This was our first time leaving Callie with a sitter and we wouldn’t hesitate to do it again with Sharon.”
“Rebecca did a great job with my 1 year old labradoodle! She was very communicative, sent multiple pictures and videos each day, and I felt safe and comfortable having her watch my dog. Stella will definitely be back to stay with Rebecca and her family :)”
“Mackenzie took great care of our 14 week old Vizsla puppy while we were out of town for a week on business. I’m sure he was a handful but she cared for him with such kindness and patience. Bodhi was sad to leave!”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“April and family are amazing! We have a puppy and we’re looking for boarding options when we travel; April and her family took amazing care of our pup Maverick making him one of the family members! Couldn’t be more appreciative! Maverick will definitely be coming back for more sleepovers!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Laura! Our dog had the best time while we were out of town and we’ll definitely be using her again when out of town. She provides the best experience to make your fur baby feel at home while you are away!”
“Isha and Great took great care of our little dog recently. She came back happy and tired, which means they gave her a lot of love and attention. They also provided updates daily with photos. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our first time leaving our pup. The care and attention given to our dog was absolutely amazing. It was so clear how much they genuinely loved him and treated him like their own. They even had a welcome sign with a menu and activities. It was adorable. We received thoughtful updates, pictures, and constant reassurance that he was happy and well cared for. Picking up a relaxed, content boy says everything. We are beyond grateful and would trust Kris & Eric again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕”
“Ellie was BEYOND AMAZING. I've never left my dog (baby) with ANYONE other than close friends or family, and i'm very anxiously attached to her. I was very very nervous leading up to my trip, but the second my boyfriend and I met Ellie, we felt 10000 times better. She sent me so many photos, and kept me up to date on everything. The photos really made me feel more comfortable during the trip, I could tell she was very happy and comfortable. Also, anytime we leave Baby she almost always skips her lunch. Baby was eating both meals every single day which was a huge sign to me that Ellie made her comfortable and at home. I would recommend Ellie to everyone!! If you have any hesitations, set up a meet and greet and you will feel at ease the second you meet her. I can't thank Ellie enough, I was worried I wasn't going to be able to enjoy my vacation due to my worries but I wasn't worried for one second while I was away. 1,000/10, will be using Ellie in the future <3”
“MacKenzie is a real sweetheart and Loved on my furbaby with extra Love being this was his 1st time with her. I absolutely trust her instincts and expertise. We would Love to be able to board with her again!!”
“I could have not asked for a better Rover experience. Shannon took care of our dog like one of her own. We received frequent updates & knew that our girl was getting the best care which allowed us to travel worry free. We would definitely return”
“I can’t say enough good things about this family! We felt totally at ease while we were out of town because immediately we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have a basset hound mix and a Great Dane and they handled both with ease! We booked them for 3 additional trips the same day we picked our dogs up from the first stay. I highly recommend them!”
“Sarah was absolutely phenomenal! She was so accommodating/flexible and reassuring. She send plenty of updates and I know my two pups had an absolute blast with hef. She has the perfect set up! It made me feel way less guilty leaving my babies behind knowing that Sarah has a fantastic yard for them to play in. Almost felt like dropping the pups off at a Summer camp. I am a very anxious dog mom and I felt at ease knowing that my babies were in great hands. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would!”

“When we were out of town, we didn't have to worry about our kitties at all because Sierra took such great care of them. She's timely, responsive, and very kind. We highly recommend!”
“Caitlin is just the best! She is so thoughtful and takes great care of out fur babies when we are out of town. She does a fantastic job keep us up to date with our pets when we are away.”
“Added on an extra day for my stay while my litter robot was malfunctioning. Olivia was prompt and went right over to check on my fur babies without hesitation. Awesome service!!”
“I felt comforted knowing Jenna was caring for my two cats. She was always communicative about her very busy schedule if it was going to affect the schedule. I will book with Jenna again.”
“Raelee was amazing with my puppy, Wrigley. She was on time, dedicated time to helping with inconveniences, and was very communicative! I will recommend her a million times over and over, she’s the best!”
“Robin was SO wonderful. I would trust her with my babies again any day! She was very open, caring, and treated my kitties as they were her own! She left the most detailed notes (can see the nurse shining through haha). She not only made sure my cats were well, had some play, were fed/watered, & were clean/brushed, but also she made sure they didn’t destroy my apartment & their boxes & pee pads stayed fresh. She even took the trash out and brought my old lady cat some senior food 😭😭 SOOO SWEET! Everything went smoothly as far as the booking, planning, meet & greet, etc. I missed my babies, but I did not stress about them once while gone! Thank you so much Robin!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and chinchillas. We have had animals of all different ages and breeds so I’m accustom to big or little animals. I love hanging out with animals and looking forward to an opportunity to help you I play professional soccer so I am free the most days, besides in the morning. So, I am pretty flexible and available most of the time. I want to accommodate the needs of whatever you need. I have been around pets all my life and all have had different care and needs.
“If I could leave Marianna a 500 star review, that still wouldn’t be enough. I needed last minute care due to a medical emergency, and she not only accommodated my need with less than 18 hours notice, but she did so with a level of care for my kitties that I have never experienced before. Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I had photos and videos of all of my babies (which is no small feat in itself), and she continued to provide multiple updates, photos, and videos. She was so so so loving and gentle with my kitties, stayed with them all day and overnight, and gave me the comfort and reassurance I was desperately needing. I will absolutely be hiring her every time I need a sitter moving forward (hopefully sans the hospital stay and ideally for a fun getaway instead). Thank you so much, Marianna. There are not enough ways to express my gratitude!”
“Our shy kitties loved their visits from Gaby, she made sure they were well loved, fed and taken care of while we were away, which we are so appreciative of! They were in great hands!”
“Wonderful!! Kayla and Taylor LOVE animals. They were so amazing. Excellent communication and attention to detail. Great pics sent at every check in. Do not hesitate to book them. Will definitely use them again.”
About: Growing up at a house where we treated our furry friends like family has taught me the best way to grow connection with any animal. Currently, I do work full-time in the city so coming home to your furry friend so they have someone to spend Time would work best with me. The safety of your family is first in mind whether that be keeping them on a leash while walking them or making sure they get their medication's or eat the right diet trust that I will keep them safe.
“Cheyenne was so great!! Our cat was so comfy here and got lots of love and attention! Cheyenne is a super kind human and sent us regular updates, including videos and pictures, which really made us feel so much better about leaving our sweet boy for a couple weeks! He was well taken care of and got all the scratchies and cuddles he wanted!”
About: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up in a home that always had a fur baby and as I grew up I have always had a fur baby of my own. I personally believe owning a pet makes a house a home. Aside from my personal experience with pets, I also was an assistant at an in-home pet sitting business for 4+ years. I currently work full-time as a nurse practitioner. My weekly schedule consists of 4 10 hour shifts 6:00am-4:30pm. I have all evenings available during the week for pet sitting. I have 1 weekday per week available and do not work at the hospital on weekends, which make them perfect for pet sitting! I will make sure to discuss your pets routine with you in detail to ensure their schedule is not disrupted when you are away. Consistency is important to not only us, but also our fur babies. Keeping things consistent and providing quality 1:1 time are a priority of mine.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Crystal Lakes
“I cannot recommend Lona & Alan enough! They took such amazing care of my dogs. From the daily updates and photos to their attentive care, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“She is amazing and my puppy loves to see her!! She is ready to watch your pup and knows when your in a hurry to get to your next stop. If you want your pup to get the best care she is excellent!!!”
“I booked with Taylor to watch my dog for a couple hours one morning. He has separation anxiety. She understands the needs for a dog with SA and was able to help manage his nerves while we were gone for some errands.”
“My pups were tuckered out from the good time they had over at Stevie’s house today! She and her mom were very gracious and helpful! We will be using her services again!”
“Sarah was amazing. This was our first time with a Rover and Lexi felt comfortable and apparently did well. I appreciate Sarah being patient with Lexi as she navigates our new schedule and doggy daycare.”
“Melissa was fantastic!! Our boy Lando had a great time. When we dropped him off we could tell he would be in good hands. Melissa was even able to keep Lando a little while longer than originally planned on short notice. We would absolutely trust her to watch Lando again!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our fur baby. This was our first time leaving our girl with someone we didn’t know but Alex answered all our questions and we felt more than comfortable leaving her for the day. We loved getting videos of her playing and having a good time with all her new friends. If in the KC area again, we would definitely take her back!”
“Nathan was great! Quick to respond and took our little guy for daycare on VERY short notice. No communication issues and we would definitely trust him to pet sit for us again.”
“My two small Chihuahua mixes absolutely love their time at Mike and Sharon's! We use them mainly for daycare and they usually always have a couple small puppy friends there, so they are exhausted and sleep all night when they get home! We have used them for boarding too and have nothing but praise. If you need a sitter or lower stimulation doggy daycare, Sharon's your girl!”
“Clover has done day Carr with Rocio once before and this time like last she was a tired and happy pup after her visit! So appreciate the communication and photo updates! Thank you”
“Christine was kind to care for my pup, Phoebe, on short notice when my regular sitter couldn’t come last minute. She and her kiddos kept Phoebe safe and comfortable!”
“We cannot say enough good about Gaby and Harrison's care of our four doggos! They readily agreed to help us out over a long weekend with very little notice. They provided doggy daycare with pick up and drop off service. They were absolutely life savers and did a great job with our doggos... caring for them as if they were their own. We look forward to booking with them again on the future.”

“Gail was very personable and knowledgeable about animal behavior. She handled my dogs with great care and they felt very comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to utilize her services again.”
About: I’ve had dogs from a young age. Staying with me, they will get attention, love, play time and cuddles. They will also get to play with my dog Lexi. I work from home full time so I’m always here. I’m able to go outside and play with your pups or give them extra attention. I have a fenced in yard with locks on my gates. I have a doggie door and the back door is always open. I have a 5 year old pup that is very calming and caring. She has been great with other dogs. She is very nurturing and always makes sure those in her space are safe. I have a couple of stories I can provide about her. I am very hands on and constantly checking on my girl and will do the same for your furbaby. Safety is very important to me, not only for your furbaby but for myself and my furbaby as well.

“Our family was so fortunate to have had Sierra care for our fur babies! She is punctual, detailed, and exceedingly dependable. It is obvious, through her detailed notes and excellent photos, that Sierra is loving and caring to all of our pets (the photos showed the joy on their faces!). Equally important, Sierra always maintained the highest level of professionalism when walking our dogs, making snap decisions related to weather and other pets along the walking path that were crucial to the safety and well being of our pets. This superior level of care is difficult to find. Thank you, Sierra, for allowing us to travel with peace of mind in knowing that our fur babies were safe and loved.”
About: I've owned and watched dogs for years. I have also fostered dogs of all sizes and personality. I even worked as a assistant manager at Camp Bow Wow. I work well with all ages and I understand that each pet is unique and has different needs. I will give them the best care. I'm currently working for a small business, I get to work from home so I can adjust my hours to fit your needs. I have regular dog walking clients/ drop-in so I can be gone for a few hours. When I go to a client's home I will send the client pictures of their pets and give them updates. I make sure to respect the clients home.
“Hannah always does a great job for my two babies. She is very quick to respond and easy to work with. I’ve used her a few times and continue to! Her experience working at a vet clinic makes me feel more comfortable. She always sends pictures and I know my dogs love when she comes around”
“Erika was able to meet with me on a moment's notice and was very reliable. She even worked it out to drive a little farther than she would have liked. Thank you Erika!”
“Second time we had Caitlin watch our animals. She is an excellent, thoughtful, and highly efficient individual who makes every effort to complete the tasks at hand and successfully communicate things to keep your mind at ease during travel. I cannot give any higher recommendation and (if possible) you should utilize her services while on vacation to take care of your animals. She is truly one of the “good ones!” Thanks again to Caitlin!”
“My dog loves Caroline! After his walks, she spent extra time playing with him in the backyard and loving on him. She had great communication skills and did an excellent job managing his sometimes leash reactiviness. We will definitely book her again if she is available.”
About: 🐾Please note that meet and greets are required for all my services! Me and my boyfriend both work full time jobs so your pets will be alone for a few hours depending on your services you schedule with me. Also note if you book for a boarding stay you will have to provide a crate if your dog stays in a crate while your gone durning the day or overnight!🐾 I have taken care of all breed and sizes of dogs for a few years now. All my family and family friends have trusted me with their fur babies. I go to their homes or I take their dogs home with me depending on how they get along with my dogs. I have fed, played, and bathed dogs. I also love of them as if they are my own dogs. Not only do I care for dogs but I can care for all other four legged animals as well! Depending on the day if I work your pet will get 1 walk and plenty of outside time! If I am not working your dog will get 2 walks, hours of outside time and get as much enrichment to help their mental stemalation and energy! Starting in May on Saturdays I typically work at a race track until late, but I will go to your home prior to me going to the track. I have a fenced in yard and live in a nice Kearney neighborhood! We have several nature trails to walk on and a dog park in town! I do have two dogs but both are very friendly with other dogs and up to date on all vaccinations! There is also a vet office 5 minutes down the road that I take my animals to so if there ever is an emergency I will go straight there!
About: I absolutely love taking care of home pets! You will feel stress-free with me while taking care of your animals until you return home. I believe that animals need more love and care than just being let outside and fed. I have house and pet sat for two summers now, and I really love it! I am home from college, looking to have a simpler job during the summer! I am fully available all week and usually the weekends as well unless I'm on a trip! Very open to anything. I have a fenced yard for my pup at home, which helps them have more fun outside! I could also crate the animal if that is what is needed.
About: I’ve taken care of others pets or my own most of my life. I have had my current dog for seven years. He just turned 12 so I also have experience with geriatric animals as well I am a single father so my availability can fluctuate depending on if you are okay having a a 3 year old come and help (fully supervised) . Want to be able to best meet everyone’s unique needs! I will follow any and all instructions left for me. I’ll make sure your pet feels like you never left the house and that every need is met.
About: Growing up in a household where I wasn’t allowed to have a pet of my own, I searched for every chance to spend time with furry friends. I spent a lot of time at neighbors’ and friends’ houses playing with and pet-sitting their dogs, studying a variety of dog breeds, and watching pet shows like “Too Cute” on Animal Planet. In middle school I volunteered at the animal shelter and in high school I was exposed to many therapy dogs at the hospital. Finally, 7 years ago I got a shih-poo of my own and it’s been such a joy getting to spoil her rotten. Dogs bring us so much light, love, and companionship so they deserve to be treated with utmost care and pampered to their heart’s content! I will make sure your precious pet gets the attention it needs so that you can live your life care free and they can live theirs cared for! I am not currently working so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend! My availability is completely open for walks, check ins, and whatever and however much care your pet may need! I have a large fenced in yard with ample space for your pet and I to play and run around in. My shih-poo can keep your four-legged friend company or can be caged up, whichever you and your pet are comfortable with. I have a variety of dog treats that your pup is welcome to as well.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and I had my own for 7 years. I miss him dearly and would love to be able to give part time lovins to others for now until I find another to call my own! I work full time as a mortician from 6a-6p but I have evenings and weekends free and even some day time availability to feed, walk, let out or just love some pups! I do live in an apartment, however they have a fenced in dog area. I’m willing to travel to your house or they’re definitely welcome in mine!
About: I have tons of pet care experience. I used to work in a daycare/ boarding facility. I have also cared for dogs in my home before. I am available every day of the week with flexible hours. I am also a certified pet trainer and your dog may come home with new skills or improved manners just for fun. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and socializing. I will love your dog as much as you do and will treat them like my own. I am respectful and responsible with any of your personal needs or wants when it comes you and your four legged friends. Please let me care for your pet while you are gone and trust that I will take good care of them. I am home full time with the exception of personal outings and running errands. I will be able to let your pups out for potty breaks, go for walks and have plenty of time to play. I make sure that a leash is always attached before opening a door to take your dog for a walk unless fenced in. We currently don’t have a fence, but will hopefully soon. We have two friendly dogs.
About: Hi! I’m Bailey, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently care for my own pets and have experience with senior pets, medically complex pets, medications, anxious animals, and multi-pet households. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work independently, which allows me flexibility and reliability when caring for your pets. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll treat them like members of my own family. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and communication while you’re away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. Because I work from home, pets receive regular attention, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I work remotely from my home, allowing me to closely monitor pets throughout the day. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including seniors and pets with complex medical needs. I understand that every pet is unique and strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My goal is to provide a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at home while you’re away.
About: Good afternoon everyone, my name is Alayna and I’ve been working with animals for over 10 years In many different fields even on a farm. I have experience with a variety of animals including, snakes, lizards/ geckos, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, chickens, cats and dogs. I work at a vet office and am very familiar with older pets as well as knowing how to do nail trims and baths. A couple good reasons I stand out from everyone else is that I have experience administering medicine to animals, especially cats, because I’ve been fostering them for about 5 years and I also worked at a vet hospital as a kennel attendant meaning I’ve been around all sizes of dogs plus I’m pretty great at giving baths. Another reason is that I’ve actually owned all the animals I have listed here so I have plenty of experience. My schedule is a bit complicated working full time as a vet assistant. I’m always available Friday-Saturday but other days is a bit difficult. Regardless though I’ll always find time the take care of your fur baby needs. Rather it’s a last minute trip your going on or a family emergency, your pets health and well-being is safe with me! When it comes to animal safety I’m all ears, especially when there’s more then one animal lose in the house. I take advice from the owners on how they’d like the animal to be kept such as if they wish to keep their pet in a room instead of free roam. When taking the animal outside, I will always be outside with them so no accidents are to happen. Before leaving the house, I always make sure to pick up or move anything the animal could reach they aren’t suppose to have and put it in a high or closed off area.
About: I’ve loved animals and have had fur babies throughout my whole life. I will treat your puppers like their mine and give them all the love and care they need. Im currently working from home while studying to be a vet therefore I will be able to provide for all your dogs wants and needs. My dogs are treated better than we treat ourselves😂, they're allowed on the bed, couch and get plenty of belly rubs and playtime all day! Your dogs will get spoiled and loved here!
About: I’ve had dogs in my house since I was a kid, I’m good at reading cat body language, and I absolutely adore animals! I currently have a part time job, afternoons or evenings work best for me, can watch overnight if needed,let me know what works best! I have a friendly cockapoo who loves to play with other dogs and a cat that usually stays in my room, small yard -no fence
About: Great with all types of dogs and have a fun, intuitive understanding of their care needs. Flexible and attentive, I’m happy to adapt to what your dog enjoys-whether it’s relaxing, going for a walk, or playing fetch.

I strive to provide loving care for your pet in the comfort of their home. Following their routines and ensuring they are fed, exercised, and happy, while keeping a clean and safe environment.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and turkeys, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds from a young age. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with everything from puppy potty and crate training to feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time within my days to love and care for your fur babies while your're unable to! I have a fenced yard with lots of other friendly dogs that are always eager to have another playmate! Between crate training, potty training, or walks with your pup I am able and willing to do it all!

“We had never left Hazel with anyone before, not even family or friends, because she was always able to go with us, or either me or my husband was with her. But we needed to travel out of town and wouldn't be able to take her. We didn't have any family or friends available to keep her, so we talked about taking her to a puppy resort but after thinking about it we didn't think it would be the best for her. Our neighbor had told us about Rover and that they take their dog to Cathy and she was really good with their dog.....so we decided to take a chance and we are so glad we did. Cathy was so great with Hazel -she treated her like her own. Cathy knew we were going to miss our baby and she would send us pictures and updates. When we picked Hazel up she was happy to see us but you could see that she had been well taken care of. We are so grateful for Cathy. We definitely will be using her again and telling others that need doggie care about her....thank you again Cathy!”
“Lona & Alan took phenomenal care of our precious goldendoodle! They loved her like she was their own and really made sure they were respectful of our wishes for our dog’s care. I loved getting pictures and videos of our pup throughout her stay and she was clearly happy and well loved! My only concern with them watching our dog is if my dog would want to come with me after such an amazing time 😂 (which she did thankfully 😁). They were amazing to our dog and very trustworthy! Amazing experience ❤️”
“They did a wonderful job watching our sweet girl Harper. Her 11th birthday fell during her stay and they gave her a full celebration. My dog mama heart felt so full. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!”
“Jillian was absolutely amazing with our baby, Scooby! She took wonderful care of him and provided updates and pictures! Scooby definitely enjoyed his "vacation" with Jillian and I will DEFINITELY book services with her again! This was the first time he has been away from us overnight and we were a little worried, but the updates she provided, we felt very reassured that he was in the best hands! Thank you Jillian!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ashley. She took care of Prue, our 1.5 month old baby while we travel outside of the Country. She kept us informed the whole time, sending us picture, texts and videos of how well Prue was doing. Ashley is amazing!! She care and loved Prue as if she was her own and she is also very friendly and profesional. We could tell Prue had a fun time with Deiga, Ashley’s dog and now Prue’s BFF. My husband and I feel very lucky to have found Ashley. We highly recommend Ashley and will definitely use her service again if need it.”

“Isha and Great took great care of our little dog recently. She came back happy and tired, which means they gave her a lot of love and attention. They also provided updates daily with photos. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our first time leaving our pup. The care and attention given to our dog was absolutely amazing. It was so clear how much they genuinely loved him and treated him like their own. They even had a welcome sign with a menu and activities. It was adorable. We received thoughtful updates, pictures, and constant reassurance that he was happy and well cared for. Picking up a relaxed, content boy says everything. We are beyond grateful and would trust Kris & Eric again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕”
“MacKenzie is a real sweetheart and Loved on my furbaby with extra Love being this was his 1st time with her. I absolutely trust her instincts and expertise. We would Love to be able to board with her again!!”

“I can’t say enough good things about this family! We felt totally at ease while we were out of town because immediately we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have a basset hound mix and a Great Dane and they handled both with ease! We booked them for 3 additional trips the same day we picked our dogs up from the first stay. I highly recommend them!”

“Jenneth and her family watched my two dogs for a week and they were awesome! I received regular updates and photos. My dogs loved playing with her dog. I was especially thankful for her fenced-in yard and allowing my dogs to be on her furniture. I received photos of my dogs snuggled-up to her kids which brought me joy. I would use Jenneth again.”
“Taylor was great! She was very responsive and did such a great job taking care of Harold! She was very flexible with her drop off and pick up schedule, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
